RAINWISE SCHEME

CURRENT WEATHER

3°C

Monks Wood, North Shields Surface Attenuation

We are currently on site adjacent to Beach Road. Our scheme is to separate surface water flows from the combined sewerage system and store the excessive flows during storms. To do this, we are constructing new surface water and combined sewers together with a series of cascading basins in which to hold back the flows until the storm subsides and the existing sewerage system can accept the storm water.

The weather this week hasn't helped at all, excavations have been flooded out, the route from the compound has been inaccessible and the men have been working in slop!

We've still managed to proceed slowly, having completed 2 manholes next to Ludlaw Avenue and poured the base to the manhole along side the existing pipe next to Whitehouse Primary School.

It has been a constant battle to keep mud off crossing points and the road, however, road brushes are booked daily and we are brushing up as required. Hopefully this is the end of the prolonged rain for the rest of the summer.
